For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Williams Appraisal and Realty Services, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Williams Appraisal and Realty Services, LLC is experienced in helping consumers just like you delete unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

If you live in a region that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Williams Appraisal and Realty Services, LLC is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. Not only can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow angle, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Williams Appraisal and Realty Services, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
